And then eventually they have this fight and Ali goes, I've got stuff going on as well.

And then Grace kind of realizes that she has just completely been self-absorbed.

There's all those different issues that come when an accident happens or something happens to somebody and they're traumatised and upset and they become very kind of self-obsessed.

The other thing about the book is that Grace is kind of angry and she wants to lash out and they're doing a school play.

And she would traditionally have always got the best part, but she actually gets the worst part.

She's the donkey's bum.

She's the bum of the donkey, yes, instead of being...

Joseph or Mary.

So she's fuming and she decides she wants to ruin the play.

And then as the book goes on, she realizes that, you know, lashing out at other people isn't going to make her feel better about herself.

And then, in fact, it's about accepting the new her and, you know, understanding that she's got a fabulous family and gorgeous friends and that actually life is good.

And she is not the same person.

She's actually possibly a better version of her old self.

So it's again, it's all my books, Clare, you know, are about serious issues, but written in an engaging way.

So, you know, we've had refugees and homelessness and I'm not going, there are these many homeless kids in Ireland.

I'm kind of going worldwide.

What would it feel like if you had to live in the boot of your car for a couple of weeks?

What would it feel like if this happened to you?

And I think kids really relate to that.

And it's lovely to hear that Jane, you know, was really engaged with the character.
